April showers bring May flowers. That's what's happening in my back yard today. I got drenched coming home from work. I sat in my office and listened to the thunder before I got off work. Running about 20 feet to my car I got soaked. I got nature's light show all the way home too. It was beautiful.

I started thinking about the beauty of the storm. Great streaks of fiery light through a darkened sky, and the gentle tapping of the rain on my roof. There's something soothing about a thunder storm (as long as you are not caught outside in the middle of it).

And more than just that, I thought about the nature of the thunderstorm. They are caused by unstable air at the higher elevations. Cold air and warm air slamming into each other creating a beautiful light show in the sky. Who knew something so unstable would be so beautiful?

Life can be unstable too. Sickness, job loss, divorce, you name it, we go through it. But somehow through all of the instability of life, God can create something beautiful. Don't give up. Keep on keeping on. Look for the beauty around you, and in the end, you will see a rainbow!​
